* Sat Nov 19 2005 Jason Vas Dias lt;jvdias@redhat.comgt; - 11:3.0.2-26- fix bug 173619: dhclient-script should reconfig on RENEW if subnet-mask, broadcast-address, mtu, routers, etc. have changed- apply upstream improvements to trailing nul options fix of bug 160655- fix bug 167028 - test IBM's unicast bootp patch (from xma@us.ibm.com)- fix bug 171312 - silence chkconfig error message if ypbind not installed- fix dhcpd.init when -cf arg given to dhcpd- make dhcpd init touch /var/lib/dhcpd/dhcpd.leases, not /var/lib/dhcp/dhcpd.leases- Allow dhclient route metrics to be specified with DHCP options: The dhcp-options(5) man-page states: 'option routers ... Routers should be listed in order of preference' and 'option static-routes ... are listed in descending order of priority' . No preference / priority could be set with previous dhclient-script . Now, dhclient-script provides: Default Gateway (option 'routers') metrics: Instead of allowing only one default gateway, if more than one router is specified in the routers option, routers following the first router will have a 'metric' of their position in the list (1,...Ngt;1). Option static-routes metrics: If a target appears in the list more than once, routes for duplicate targets will have successively greater metrics, starting at 1.
